Barnes & Noble offering Beatles and McCartney exclusives

Retailer Barnes &
Noble announced Oct. 23 they are offering this week a special package
of four 7 inch vinyl Beatles singles that will also include a poster
and a 45 RPM hub for turntables. The vinyl singles box of four
previously released singles will pair the tracks “Ticket To Ride”
and “Yes It Is,” “Yellow Submarine” and “Eleanor Rigby,”
“Hey Jude” and “Revolution” and “Come Together” and
“Something.” We searched, however, and couldn't find a link
online.

B&N is also offering
exclusives in the vinyl versions of the recently released Paul
McCartney "Tug
of War" and “Pipes
of Peace” reissues. “Tug of War” includes a limited
edition 7" single of "Ebony and Ivory" with
"Rainclouds" in a color sleeve reproduction of the original
release. “Pipes of Peace” includes the 7" single of "Pipes
of Peace" with "So Bad" in a color sleeve. Both will be out Oct. 30. Not to mention, also, that B&N will have the November MOJO with the Beatles on the cover and the special Fabs related CD. (Thanks to Kris Tash.)
